Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: Al explains more about these blocks in the comments section. And, below is what the photo might look like of the first block (thanks Ron).

They appear to be printer’s blocks. We have several sets my wife and I got at craft sales over the years.
Those are acid engraved printing “cuts”. This method of engraving employed a photographic negative and chemical processes to print photographs using letterpress machines such as heidelburgh printing presses. This ‘plate’ was locked up with in the correct position so rollers could apply ink and an impression was made on paper. Way more complicated than that, but basic idea. FYI I began in the trade in 1966 and this was outmoded by that time for commercial printing of a large scale format.
We have a bunch of these of various subject matter, including jeeps. These are later ones using the chemical process. The surface of them is only thousandths of an inch deep.
